Planetary Info
Alkalurops is a world laden with a dense atmosphere that frequently spawns hurricanes and tornadoes. The early colonists (mostly miners and natural gas exporters) took a page from history and constructed most of their homes in the caves and cliffs of the planet's mountain ranges. These dwellings were sealed against the elements, pressurized, and equipped with air filters to provide a suitable environment.[1]
Under the influence of their environment and its isolating effects, the Alkaluropians developed a culture that is highly insular, bordering on xenophobic. While individuals from the Isle of Skye are tolerated, most offworlders are simply distrusted and see little hospitality. This served them well during the fall of the Star League. Forces loyal to Amaris landed on the world and attempted to take control of it, but the Alkaluropians drove them away. During the few raids of the Succession Wars this pattern was repeated. Ironically the establishment of the Republic of the Sphere, intended to further peaceful behavior, actually triggered the largest amount of violence in Alkalurops' history. The native Alkaluropians resisted the relocation edicts that Devlin Stone passed by attacking the "foreigners" that were "forced on them." It took nearly ten years for Republic and Lyran negotiators to calm the situation.[1]

Notes
Errata from Jade Falcon Sourcebook has the planet invaded by Clan Jade Falcon in 3050. However, planet is more near Terra in modern maps than previous listings.[3]
